- Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has escalated a public feud with her junior colleague Nneoma Ukpabi over the latter’s outfit for Ruby Ojiakor’s wedding.
- Rita Edochie criticized Nneoma’s revealing dress, causing outrage on social media, particularly at white weddings, highlighting the indecent nature of such attire.
Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has intensified her ongoing public feud with younger actress Nneoma Ukpabi by issuing a detailed and fierce response to the latter’s earlier threats.
The dispute began after Nneoma’s revealing dress at Ruby Ojiakor’s wedding sparked widespread criticism online. Rita Edochie condemned the outfit as inappropriate for a wedding, prompting Nneoma to retaliate by warning the veteran to keep her name out of her mouth or risk having her “dirty secrets” exposed.
Unfazed, Rita refused to engage in insults but firmly defended her stance. She also brought up an alleged incident involving the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), claiming she once led a probe panel in Imo State where Nneoma sought her help to cover up financial misconduct.
Rita Edochie wrote;
“The truth doesn’t always go down well with people who are recalcitrant to advice and corrections 👌.
“I was the chairman of the probe panel committee, Imo State, constituted by AGN.
You kept calling and pleading with me to help cover you up and save your arse to prevent hampering your pursuit to become the AGN chairman’s second tenure because you embezzled their millions. I said no!!! And presented your records as dirty as they were. Then you saw me as an enemy, which I care less about.
As the rogue you are, you paid your way through and became the chairman of AGN Imo State chapter 👌.
“You also disassociated yourself from me because you couldn’t deal with the advice I kept giving you. On the other hand, keeping you close is a dent on my person because your level of indecency is second to none, so I gave you a long spoon.
“Nneoma Ukpabi, what exactly do you think you have to say about my personality?
I am way too decent for every jargon that can come out of your mouth.
The only thing you can do is cook up lies just to take turns on yourself.
“The video of your indecency I posted was already going viral. Bloggers and a few content creators had to help you share your n@kedness.
The world had to see your height of irresponsibility and w@ywardness, so reposting on my page to correct an impression shouldn’t be a problem.
People needed to feed their eyes, which was exactly what you wanted.
“Talking about using you to grow my page is laughable. I still don’t understand why I should do that. You lack media visibility, you’re not even recognised in this media space. Your followership is nothing to write home about — so inorganic and purchased.
You’re not up to my feet as long as this industry is concerned. So I’m still wondering how influential you can be to my page. You must be very delusional to have made such a statement.
“Nneoma Ukpabi, I put it to you again that you’ve got nothing on me.
I have clean records, and they are visible enough.
The truth was just said — your outfit to Ruby’s wedding was irresponsible and indecent.
I am saying it again and again.
You are a bad influence and should not be mingled with 👌.”
